We divide 116478 by 53
Let's see how many times 53 fits into 116478.

Step 1:
The number 53 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 53

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 53 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 53

On to step 3:
116 divided by 53 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 106 from 116, we get 10.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 53

On to step 4:
The number 53 fits into 104 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 53 from 104 to get 51.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 517 / 53

Moving on to step 5:
The number 53 fits into 517 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 219.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 477 from 517.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 408 / 53

Let's proceed to step 6:
53 goes into 408 7 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2197.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 371 from 408.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 53 fits into 370 6 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2197.6
Deduct 318 from 370 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
53 can be fit into 520 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2197.69
Deduct 477 from 520 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
430 divided by 53 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2197.698
If we take 424 away from 430, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
53 goes into 60 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2197.6981
If we take 53 away from 60, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 53 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2197.69811
Deduct 53 from 70 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2197.69811, and the remainder is 1.7e-05.
